THE FUGITIVE

SPECIAL EDITION JUNE 5

Two New Behind-the-Scenes Documentaries, All-New Introductions, New Digital Transfer and More Added to VHS and DVD

Burbank, Calif., May 3, 2001 -- On June 5th, Warner Home Video (WHV) will release an updated Special Edition of The Fugitive, the smash hit motion picture which starred Harrison Ford as wrongly convicted Dr. Richard Kimble and Tommy Lee Jones in his Oscar® and Golden-Globe winning performance as the tenacious Deputy U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard.

Priced to own at $14.95 SRP (VHS) and $24.98 SRP (DVD), The Fugitive Special Edition will be available in a special widescreen edition (1.85:1) and will include the following features:

  • New digital transfer
  • An all-new introduction by Harrison Ford, Andrew Davis and Tommy Lee Jones
  • Two new behind-the-scenes documentaries, On the Run With the Fugitive and Derailed: Anatomy of a Train Wreck featuring cast and crew recollections and previously unseen footage
  • The original theatrical trailer
  • The DVD also includes a feature-length commentary by actor Tommy Lee Jones and director Andrew Davis.

The Fugitive, "a tense, taut and expert thriller" (Roger Ebert), is one of the top-grossing films of all time, with $184 million in domestic box-office receipts and seven Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture. Andrew Davis won a Director's Guild nomination for his work on the suspense thriller, known for two spectacular movie stunts -- the devastating bus-train collision and Kimble's leap down a huge waterfall. Sela Ward, Julianne Moore, Joe Pantoliano and Jeroen Krabbé were featured in the cast.
